Sony Signs Chrome Browser Deal With Google

[gurevicha]

I use chrome for over 6 months now and wouldn't exchange it for any other browser.

So no one liked my DRM comment, I thought it was funny but, whatever.. I guess I have horrible tasteless humor. Again what ever.

The fewer M$ applications you run the better it is so why not Chrome. I'd prefer safari or FF myself.

I don't understand how Microsoft gets screewed by the EU for including IE with Windows yet Apple can include there junk browser with OSX. Now Sony can ship there laptops with Chrome?

Why is MS the only company who gets F'd by the EU?

i use it as my default browser as well since day 1, however, I still use FF and IE because of some compatibility issues with certain websites. Chrome is easy to use, clean and very fast.

i stopped using firefox as a 2nd browser.... now its Chrome, as many review say ITS MUCH FASTER! 1st is Opera of course...

I bought a Sony VAIO FW two or three weeks ago, it already had Chrome installed and set as the default browser. I was pretty shocked to be honest. I went and installed FireFox instead though, because I rely on a dozen or so extensions and GM scripts.

With all of the garbage that pc manufactures load onto pre-buit units, why are they not pre-loading most IE browser alternatives such as Opera, Chrome, FireFox, etc en masse?

@zak_mckraken
check the options. you can choose to have the 'favorites bar' display always or just on new tab/home tab or something.

def like chrome's screen real estate and fast load times. i'm still down with FF as well but have been download chrome on more computers I touch than FF lately.

I know all of you MS hata's out there are gonna' go crazy, but in the mixed office environment here where everyone gets to install whatever they want we've got FireFox and Chrome and I like to use IE. I find it to be more compatible and stable which are priorities. Chrome's handling of locked up sessions is admirable, but for what I use it for it's the lockup that's the problem not having to restart the browser. That being said, I was really excited when Chrome was coming out, but after I used it for a while I've decided that it's only half-baked. If Google wants to put it back in the oven and make it compatible and stable and fix some of the UI issues I have with Chrome I'd definitely give it a second try.

Why don't they get rid of the crappy PS3 browser and put chrome in place!?

That would be a great idea wouldn't it...

After reading this article i decided to download Chrome...

So far (1hr) it's pretty damn fast!

Sue, Microsoft, sue! This is anti-competitive!

IE works just fine for me.

 

[megamanx00]

I'd use it to download Firefox . Chrome does have it's uses though thanks to it's sandbox model, but Firefox will remain my primary browser for now.

chrome works very well for me i used the browser for about 4 months and no majort problems but some plug ins like java crash often. i cant wait for the OS tottaly gonna dual boot with windows 7

 

[Guest]

i just got a vaio and was surprised to find chrome as the default but i'm using it and its fast

Your point? 90% of the sony products I have purchased have been absolutely fantastic. I would have no regrets on buying a vaio.

Quote:"I didn't have anything against Chrome but now i do, it's doing business with Sony now; so it will become crap"

More ps3 hate? In any case, why would placing a browser on a different brand of pc make it become crap? I don't think sony is going to start coding for google anytime soon.

As for browsing on a ps3...perhaps because the ps3 was released before chrome existed? In either case, it doesnt matter much, the ps3 is a gaming platform not a netbook.

I'm currently viewing this page on chrome... It's the best, sleek, leen and green(or is that blue) , it's a pitty that there are still some sites that don't support it... rather site applications, still - in my daily use I have only found two apps that requiered Iex. I'm glad that companies are looking into chrome, it's really a solid app

 

[antilycus]

Unfortunately there are too many web site developers out there that are useless without microsoft and microsoft gears their web designing software to only work with IE. (just look out Exchange Online for an example). Some pages don't work with other browsers.

 

[eddieroolz]

Nope, never will use it default. Internet Explorer 8 all the way.

Chrome = Win
FF = Backup Win
IE = Way to download Win or Backup Win

 

[jerreece]

I use Firefox. Never been even been tempted to try Chrome honestly.

Although, Google gets my searches 100% of the time.

I love how few of the users of this site seem to appreciate the humor and sarcasm in r3t4rd's comment.

Its a very good browser. I use it at work and at home. The problem is that
not all the sites have full support for it. there fore i need a second browser.
Fix this issue then make it available for PS3.
